Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 29, 2014 6:43 pm Hi all, has anyone built on a battle axe block recently in or around Hamilton Hill (or spearwood - off Rockingham Road if that helps) in WA? A block we have put an offer in on has about 1m of fall, however the agent has said that the owner will do all of the retaining required for the block (which we have put in as a condition of sale as well as making the block level). After speaking to a builder he has given us a rough siteworks cost of approximately $32K. Now he hasn't seen the block and is trying to make sure we don't get any nasty surprises so I appreciate that. I did ask him that upon inspection of the block (after retaining and leveling) if their was any chance the site works could be less. He said yes (no surprise really). Was wondering if anyone else would be willing to share their siteworks costs if you built on a rear battleaxe block in the freo area (the block is 18x19 - not including driveway). And secondly, has anyone had to retain a block and do some cut and fill to get it all levl and if so what did you get hit? Our offer is meant to have factored that in for the owner of the block but in case he decides he is not going to do it I might still if I can offer less and do it myself (read get a contractor etc).

I’ve also had a DA approved to build a deck. It looks like I can do this… 0 4783 Fair Trading can issue orders to rectify and complete but once the matter goes to NCAT these orders are automatically vacated.
